Following his successful business ventures in Kwale, where he was before coming to Nairobi, Sonko revealed that he moved to Buruburu estate and set up a video library, a boutique, cyber cafes, a spare parts shop and a boutique run by his wife.

“I am not rich, I am not poor but I am somehow wealthy and I thank God. I have been sharing whatever little I have with the people.

“My wife was the first proprietor in transport who imported double-decker buses post-colonial era,” he added.

Speaking about one of his popular clubs in Nairobi, Sonko revealed that he gave several musicians a platform to showcase their talent including Jaguar, Ali Kiba, Ray C, Matonya and Z. Anto among others.
